Abstract
Dr. Roy Want has been named the recipient of the 2019 SIGMOBILE Outstanding Contributions Award. For three decades, Roy has been the central figure in context-awareness, which enables mobile systems to adapt their behavior to dynamic variables such as device location and nearby users. Among his earliest contributions was the first mechanism known for context-awareness - the Active Badge system that identified individual mobile users to the infrastructure.
